SECURITY VULNERABILITY ISSUES IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS: A SHORT SURVEY

2 Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks are special kind of Ad-hoc networks, used in various applications like military and healthcare areas and characterized by severely constrained computational, memory and energy resources. When wireless sensor networks are deployed in an open or hostile environment security becomes extremely important, as they are prone to different types of malicious attacks. This paper includes the outline of the energy constraints, security requirements, and some of the security mechanisms to counter these attacks.
